'Kronic' user warns of frightening effect

A WARRNAMBOOL businessman has described his experience with the synthetic cannabinoid Kronic as “scary” and warned people to stay away from the over-the-counter drug.

The man, who wished to remain anonymous, said the synthesised marijuana had made himself and his friends feel seriously ill very quickly, caused them to momentarily pass out, hallucinate, and had almost led to an ambulance being called as he began to fear for his personal safety.

“I’ve had my fair share of experiences with drugs in my youth, through university days, and still have the occasional joint but this was the most full-on experience you could imagine,” he said.
